The conditions for housing construction changed in Sweden during the 1990s. The political situation turned after the election in 1994, which later meant new regulations concerning increased construction VAT, property tax and reduction of interest subsidies. Costs for construction increased and this meant that attractive locations, especially in cities, were built with expensive and exclusive condominiums. In this thesis, it has been examined how floor plans have changed over 25 years. The material used was building permits from 1990 and 2015, provided by Växjö city planning office. The floor plans in the building permits have been compared with each other in different parameters; measurable and immeasurable values. The purpose of the thesis was to examine how the floor plans have changed over this period of time, and what it could depend on. The result showed that there was a small disparity between 1990 and 2015. Most apartments are designed in a similar way and the difference between 1990 and 2015 is small. The biggest difference turned out to be the number of apartments per apartment building. The conclusion of the thesis is that with better knowledge and true facts, the apartment can be built in many different ways in consideration of the architectural value. What is considered right or wrong is up to the eye of the beholder. |
